All Things Gaming

Recent gaming shenanigans, I've been enjoying Doom co-op with my brony friend. I also I guess I been on a bit of a Need for Speed kick if you want to call it that.

Yesterday I downloaded Need for Speed Nitro-X, very fun racer for DSi, hope to get together with my friend so I could play it with him. Also, I played Need for Speed ProStreet DS with said friend last night online. EA may have shut down the console versions online servers, but the DS version is controlled by Nintendo I guess (maybe a good thing about the friend codes thing).

Also, the recent Steam sale, I scored Quake II, which I already beat, Sonic Adventure, and Puzzle Dimension cheap, so I would most likely play those this month.

Hmm, no reply since I posted. Sorry if this makes it seem like a double post. Something just came to mind today.

In real life, I'm not really a competitive person. Recently, I've been enjoying co-op gaming. When I was at my friends house, we play Sonic Colors together. Online, my good brony friend from the UK plays Doom co-op with me, and recently someone got me into Orcs Must Die 2.

And when I do play something "competitive" for fun, it's ether GoldenEye Wii online, or a game with a friend, like Need for Speed or Sonic, or something. Now that I think about it, GoldenEye is the only "randoms" game I keep coming back to.

This weekend I played some Call of Duty Black Ops 2 with my friends. I don't really play that game online unless I have a friend online with me, otherwise it's uninteresting to me. I also played Shadow of the Colossus, I got to the fourth Colossus and so far that game is awesome! If it keeps up the quality all the way through the end, it could end up making it to my top 10 games list. Then I beat Sonic CD for the heck of it. I didn't get one Game Over until I got to Metal Sonic. Have you guys played that game? And if so, did you also have problems with Metal Sonic?

Also, I know SoC is an old game, but I would appreciate either no spoilers or marked spoilers. Thanks!

I got the God of War Collection with 5 games. I never played 1, 3, or the PSP games, so I figured to just get the whole collection because I would replay II anyway. III is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The entire first sequence with Gaia and Poseidon is one of the best opening levels in gaming history.

Yesterday was a good day in gaming for me. I beat 2 games: XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which was absolutely fantastic and one of the best strategy titles I have ever played, and Little Inferno, for which I also wrote a review.

I then also started to play Orcs Must Die 2, an extremely fun and challenging Tower Defense/Action Game hybrid with a sense of humor that is comparable to that of Borderlands, just to a lesser extent.

And thirdly, my copy of Madworld was finally delivered to me. Some of you might remember the game as being heralded as one of the most violent games to ever sneak in below an Ao rating, which was funny because it was also a Wii exclusive. Some of you might also remember it as the game that put the final nail in the coffin of companies attempting to make good 3rd party Wii games, since despite widespread critical success (it even got a 9 from GI) it sold about as well gay pride sweaters in Texas in July, similar to Platinum Game's next title, Bayonetta. Eager to get into that and see what the best 3rd party Wii game was really like, especially before it's pseudo-sequel, Anarchy Reigns, releases on July 8th on PS3 and 360 (and will only be $30 at launch).

BTW, if you haven't yet heard me talk about Anarchy Reigns, please watch the following video to learn why it is, in fact, the hypest game to be released since Metal Wolf Chaos.

MadWorld is fantastic. It is gory, stylish, and a blast to play. It is one of the greatest Wii games ever created, so do yourself a favor and buy it. If you say that Wii doesn't have hardcore games, prepared to be proven wrong.

Well, I put on one of my favorite Sonic t-shirts on today, and just put me in the mood to play just that...

-Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games... may be one of those "waggle" games, but I'm really enjoying it. Also, I gotta admit, it's one of the best looking cartoon-style games on the Wii in my opinion.

-Same game as above, but the 3DS demo, may ask for it for Christmas.

-Sonic Colors on DS, erased and started a new game.

-Sonic Generations 3DS, erased and started a new game, AND played with 3D on (didn't the first time around).

I think that's enough for today's gaming antics. Also I played some Doom with my brony friend last night in co-op. We worked through "The Shores of Hell", next up "Inferno" and "Thy Flesh Consumed". We're playing from start to finish, an episode per session.
